" Our dinner at Thanal Indian Tavern was truly exceptional! The flavors in each dish were authentic and well-balanced. We ordered the four-course dinner special, and every item was delightful. The chicken vindaloo had just the right amount of spice, and the naan was superb. Our server was attentive and made us feel welcomed throughout the evening. This restaurant is now on our must-visit list anytime we are in Philly! " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed my time at Thanal Indian Tavern very much! The menu was extensive, providing various authentic South Indian dishes that were bursting with flavor. The dosa was highly recommended by my server, and it did not disappoint! The atmosphere was lively but a bit noisy, which added to the vibrant dining experience. I appreciate how friendly the staff was and their willingness to help me with recommendations. I will definitely be back to try more dishes during my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I brought my friends here for dinner, and they were impressed with the authentic flavors of the Indian dishes. Everyone enjoyed their meal thoroughly, and the presentation was well done too. The staff was cheerful, and we felt well taken care of. A little expensive but worth it for the quality of food. Will return for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant offers a delightful array of Indian dishes! I went solo and enjoyed the Chicken Curry with garlic naan. Portions were just right, and the flavors were on point. It was a busy night, but the service was consistently good. Looking forward to trying out more from the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Really enjoyed my dinner here! The Chicken Curry was outstanding, and the service was impressive. The staff was attentive and made good recommendations.

" I had high hopes for Thanal based on the reviews, but I left feeling a bit let down. The food was average at best. I tried the butter chicken, and instead of being creamy, it tasted overly sweet. Service could have been better as well—slow and forgetful. It may have been an off-night for the restaurant, but unfortunately, I probably won't be back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was super excited to try Thanal, but my experience was a bit mixed. The food was good, but it lacked the wow factor that I had anticipated. The chicken tikka masala was okay, but the naan was really good! Service was fast, but the atmosphere felt rushed. I might be back to give it another shot. " (*Curated Review*)
